"Evelyn Waugh was one of literature's great curmudgeons and a scathingly funny satirist. Scoop is a comedy of England's newspaper business of the 1930s and the story of William Boot, a innocent hick from the country who writes careful essays about the habits of the badger. Through a series of accidents and mistaken identity, Boot is hired as a war correspondent for a Fleet Street newspaper. The uncomprehending Boot is sent to the fictional African country of Ishmaelia to cover an expected revolution. Although he has no idea what he is doing and he can't understand the incomprehensible telegrams from his London editors, Boot eventually gets the big story."--Amazon.com.

With a little misguided help from some friends, Black Emperor Seth attempts to modernize the kingdom of Azania, off the African coast.

Waugh wrote biographies of two very different English Roman Catholics: Edmund Campion (1540-1581) - a Jesuit priest executed for treason - and Ronald Knox (1888-1957), regarded as the most distinguished Anglican clerical to convert to Catholicism since Newman. Both books are indispensable to aficionados of Evelyn Waugh's highly polished prose and penetrating intelligence. This reissue will introduce these two Waugh classics to a new generation of readers.
